CONSENT AGENDA
1. Approval of the minutes of September 28, 2022 meeting
2. Library Director's Report
Librarian Tolle provided an overview of the Director’s Report. We discussed Madonna
Wade acting as Mrs. Claus at the library to a good turnout. We were informed that the
library has a saxophone credit for a future event. Also, hot spot checkout is slower
than expected so the library is planning more advertisement for this service. A part-
time library employee gave two weeks’ notice so the library will need to post for a
replacement. Also, the library is migrating from to a new catalog service.
CITIZENS COMMENTS
No one addressed the board.
ACTION ITEMS
3. Consideration and possible action of emergency procedures.
The board reviewed general emergency procedures and spent time discussing the
ongoing concern of freezing pipes related to the library sprinkler system. Due to past
experiences that caused considerable damages resulting in the loss of materials, staff
time, and short-term library access, the board is concerned with efforts and policies
related to the current library sprinkler system. The board will work to write a letter of
recommendation related to freeze warnings and the sprinkler system to present to the
City Manager to address the importance of this issue.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
The board reached a consensus to discuss interlibrary loan and other circulation policies at a
future meeting.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
